March 9, 2009.
Peter J. Sholl, United States Attorney's Office, Tampa, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Bruce G. Howie, Bruce G. Howie, P. A., Clearwater, FL, for Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. D.C. Docket No. 05-00264-CR-T-27-EAJ.
Before TJOFLAT, DUBINA and HILL, Circuit Judges.
Bruce G. Howie, appointed counsel for Orlando Ceballos in this appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Our independent review of the entire record reveals that counsel's assessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Ceballos's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
